Plot

In the turmoil of 2015 Baltimore, the city is on fire. Citizens, incensed by the suspicious death of Freddie Gray, a young Black man, while in police custody, flood the streets demanding justice. Amidst the cries for justice, the city is sinking in the quicksand of narcotics and escalating violence, hitting an alarming peak of 342 homicides in one year, among a population of merely 600,000 souls. Pressured by the mayor's office and a looming federal investigation into Gray's death, the Baltimore police high command places their faith in a man of the ranks, Sergeant Wayne Jenkins. Alongside his elite squad, the Gun Trace Task Force, they are entrusted with the Herculean task of cleansing the city's streets of firearms and drugs. Nonetheless, behind the noble facade of this mission, a nefarious scheme of unparalleled proportions unravels within the very heart of the police department. The very hero tasked with quelling the city's drug and gun plague, Jenkins, opts to manipulate the crisis for his own gains. "We Own This City" paints a gripping picture of a city held hostage by its own protectors, blurring the lines between the law and the lawless.
